....but that's about as far as I'd go. It looks great, but the flaws in the gameplay really bring the level of quality down. Also, include some sound controls, such as "Sound On/Off" buttons - the background music, whilst original and relevant, gets very annoying very quickly, which, being a Zelda fan myself, I find hard to understand.
A solid attempt, though.

It was ok, but when the game starts, you lose a couple of lives straight away because the paddle doesn't move fast enough. Make the ball go upwards at the start. Even better would be to slow it down a bit - sometimes, the ball moves on an angle away from you so quickly that you can't get to it.
But I liked the sound effects. They might have been accompanied by some music, though....

...could have used some music. Other than that, a nice alternative to standard golf gaming.

If you're going to write a tutorial, then try NOT to use voice. Even more so, don't combine voice with music. It makes it even less enjoyable. Text works perfectly fine if you get the size right. And yeah, demos are always good for tutorials.
Also, there's a way to stop the voice. Click the button, then when the voice kicks in, press the same button again. Enjoy peace and quiet....

I think using a lizard instead of a fox wasn't the greatest idea in the world. Especially since I presume we're talking about Firefox taking on IE and not the entire Mozilla organisation. More attention to detail next time.

Flawless. A perfect example of how to compose a Flash movie, and better yet, how to use videogame characters in the proper way. The music went well with the video, and it was all so...fluid.
Really nice work, man!

Look around the site for a game called LetterBlocks. It's like this, but with a nicer font.... I think if you'd brought something new to the concept, such as chain reactions or, as wweerrdd said, difficulty levels, it would have been better. Also, it's quiet - some BGM would have done it good.
Sorry, but not for me.

What a game! Simple concept, easy to pick up and play, yet hard to master. These are the concepts of a good game, and this one more than meats those requirements. Simple colours and a nice soundtrack really add to it, too.
Keep it up!

A very nice piece of work, you took a simple concept and made it into something with incredible replay value and gameplay. The music looped seamlessly, and the graphics were spot-on.
The only improvement I could think of would be to actually implement a high-score table into it. Just a thought.....

...but the lack of a preloader made me not enjoy this from the off. Include one, and it will probably work a lot better. If you can't make one, get one of the FREE Newgrounds ones from the Downloads section.
